How To Dress For Success

Success comes with a baggage—the one you would be more than obliged to carry. Now that you have made heads turn with your success, why not go ahead and do the same with your style?

Read on to know how this can be achieved:

The White Shirt

Buy a white shirt that would suit every trouser, every accessory and every occasion. Presentation counts and with white shirt will more often than not help you look your best. And don’t forget to pay an attention to the collar. It shouldn’t be too skinny or too wide.

The Right Tie

Going wrong with a tie comes pretty easy to many men. The price tag on your tie doesn’t matter as much as its length and breadth does. While careful consideration is paid when looking for a tie with just the right length, people often go kaput with its breadth. You must not buy a tie that is too wide or too narrow because you like it. It has to go with your frame. And oh, no pink flamingos, please!

The Accessories

Embellish yourself up with some accessories. It is not asked of you to wear flashy gold watches, but don’t forget the tie bars, pocket squares and sunglasses that can make you stand out in the crowd. Cufflinks on your sleeve will give a nice ring to the whole ensemble.

The Blazer

Keep your blazer two-buttoned to flaunt a sleeker look. And choose the fabric that lends a polish to the cloth and the cuts. If your jacket or blazer doesn’t hug your shoulders fine, it takes away all the poise.

The Scents And The Colours

Take a lesson or two from the Italians. They are not afraid to flaunt different shades—neutral and bright. And they love to smell exotically good. A combination of both should be enough to make any woman drool.

The Sleeves

Before you wish to wear your heart on the sleeve, make sure you get them tailored right. You want your hands to come out smooth from the sleeve-end and not just dangle like that of a scarecrow’s.

The Shoes

You probably have been advised a three dozen times, but it won’t come as a surprise if you turn up in a business meeting with muddy, unkempt shoes. Well, polished ‘glossy’ shoes are a must. Dark brown or black—take your pick!

Appearances create credibility. The key to successful dressing is marrying your attributes with the clothing. So when you are successful, being upward-bound when dressing up is the way to go.
